NEW61375 I think there can be a really good argument put forth that hunting itsself gets lost when technology is introduced. What hunting IS .... its degraded, eroded, bastardized, chiseled away at etc with technology and all that comes with it.

I honestly DO believe that.


Lanse couche coucheand right there shows you've never hunted with a bow and especially not traditional archery. There is SO MUCH more to than getting within g30 yards. So much more. The difficulty IS the hunting, the kill has less and less to do with it the more you get into the hunt itsself.

Thats what I was saying, technology breeds that belief Lanse couche coucheand its bad for Hunting IMO
I would like to offer a different perspective on hunting and whether technology is hurting it. Most of my hunting is done without a weapon, without technology (well I use my GPS but I am very proficient with map and compasss and could use that too). It is covering ground, reading sign and learning what they (deer, fox, etc.)are doing, when they do it and son on. The only time technology comes in is when I am going to try and kill something. Does it help. Some, but not nearly as much as the actual "hunting" helps my hunting.

Maybe the reliance on technology could be bad but unless you get out there and "hunt" no technology will automatically put animals in front of you.
